Tina Hatch from the HR department had a good relationship with Melanie. Tina smiled and greeted her, “Do you want to have lunch together later?”

Melanie had just agreed when Viola started getting everyone inside the meeting room.

She was in a white suit, which made her look especially gentle.

Tina whispered to Melanie, “Is she about to be working here full time? She even came to the HR department this morning to inform us of some changes to her file.”

Melanie calculated how long Viola had worked at LeapCo. She had not passed the probation period.

However, Melanie knew that it was just a matter of time before Viola became an official full–timer at the company. After all, she had Eugene backing her in this company.

When they entered the meeting room, Eugene was speaking to the department heads of the finance and operations department. Melanie was standing at the very back.

The agenda of the meeting was as expected. It was about the mid–year summary and analysis. There was also a discussion about the major plans for the next two quarters of the year.

Melanie’s head was lowered as she recorded the meeting notes in her notebook. Suddenly, she heard Eugene’s cold voice ask, “Where are the people from the secretary’s department?”

Tina moved a little to the side, and Melanie looked up. “I’m here.”

“When will you be able to submit the Lido proposal from last week and the meeting notes for the

stock market review?”

Eugene did not display much emotions during work. He tapped a finger on the table and looked at

Melanie.

Melanie looked down. “They’re still going through the final review. You’ll receive them this

afternoon.”

Eugene frowned, and his eyes narrowed. “Submit the mid–year analysis and summary before Friday.”

Everyone knew how much work the secretary’s department had. When they heard Eugene’s

instructions, Tina could not help giving Melanie a sympathetic glance.

Every department in LeapCo had to put together their documents within three or four days. They

wondered how bad their overtime could be.

“Mr. Scott.” Tina was suddenly reminded of something. She asked Eugene, “We’ve already

announced our next trainee recruitment. Will you be joining the interview process?”

This did not seem too important to Eugene. “No, I won’t.”

He paused and later looked at Melanie. “You’ll be in charge.”

“sn’t Melanie need to put together the analysis data? Would that be too big of a time constraint for her?” Tha reminded him.

Bugene Akal up slightly at Melanie, “Can’t you do something like this well?”

Melanie was silent for a while before replying, “I’ll oversee it.”

Buggene did not say anything else, However, he was quickly reminded of something. “There’s a last- minute meeting this afternoon regarding the piece of land belonging to Manson. Get ready for it.”

Melanie nodded. “Alright.”

“Come along with me for the meeting.” Eugene did not even look up. It seemed to come naturally for him to order Melanie around.

It was only after they had left the office that Tina grunted and looked at Melanie thoughtfully before saying, “Why do I feel like you’re still working with Mr. Scott? There doesn’t seem to be much of a difference with your job scope.”

Melanie’s hands paused for a moment while still clutching the documents. She said slowly, “I don’t

think so.”

“Why not? He’s still asking you to be in charge of the interview and the meeting.” Tina suddenly lowered her voice after that and continued, “Do you know that everyone downstairs is saying that Viola Shaw is Mr. Scott’s pet canary? She can’t do anything. She won’t last long with just her good

looks.”

Melanie remained stoic. She was not willing to talk about how long Viola would last at LeapCo. She was silent for a while before suddenly asking Tina. “How long does it take for an employee to resign from the company?”

Tina replied, “The resignation should be submitted half a month before. Just make sure the handover work is completed before leaving.”

She asked Melanie, “Who’s resigning?”

Melanie looked at her. “Me.”

Tina was taken aback but immediately laughed. “You must be kidding, Melanie. You won’t be leaving LeapCo even after I resign.”

She said this with amusement, certain that Melanie would never leave the company.
